Pay Increase

Roughly a month and a half ago I heard from some of my fellow union co workers that our second pay increase for 2013 was frozen due to all the different union ballots that were still being counted or resent out for a new vote.

It had slipped my mind in the last few weeks to keep asking people around me about it, but I have yet to see my second pay increase show up. Does it sound like something wrong is going on, or is there a chance things are still frozen for the past 4 months?

Ok, I was just wanting to make sure that was still the situation. I was hearing my coworkers talk a litte about it for awhile there, then all the sudden I just realized I haven't heard much said recently which made me worried something aside from the contract stuff was going on.

We received the second half of our split raises from the current contract in February. We were due to receive our most recent pay increase on Aug. 1st with the new contract but this has been delayed due to not all of the contract supplements being passed. Once they are all passed the master will be ratified and we will receive back pay for all hours worked since Aug. 1.

I can't believe that people think something will change after the next raise is due. Of course it will be added to back pay if the contract is not settled. Pretty sure the newsmagazine, "Duh" went over that.
